Welcome to days 11 & 12 of Advent and my drabble today continues the story. Sorry they are late, but I had a house full of guests over the weekend and haven't had a chance to get online. Click here to see the other part.

Pause for Thought (Advent Drabble 11)

Draco paused and thought about what he was doing. This was
supposed to have been a game, a bit of fun, a chance to try out The Boy Who
Lived And Became A Very Shaggable Man.

It wasn't.

That this solution had even come to mind told him that much.

"In the old forms there is such a thing as a
consort," he finally said. "It's mostly not done now because lovers
are easier, but it's still a respected tradition."

"And what does that mean exactly?" Harry asked.

Draco breathed deeply, what he was about to admit made him
vulnerable.

The Pureblood Solution (Advent Drabble 12)

"Our world recognised a long time ago that not everyone
was attracted to the opposite sex," Draco found the need to explain.

"Repression worked for Muggles, why not us?"

Draco glared at being interrupted.

"Because repression tends to twist a person's magic and
we do not need more Dark Lords running around," he said.

"Yes, we have enough of those anyway."

It was hard to argue with that point.

"But for pureblood families, heirs are very important,
so they came up with a solution: A marriage contract which is only about
children and the position of consort, which definitely isn't."
